THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY REVISITED..........

Club secretary : an appointed officer with a roving commission to lie

Minutes : a piece of work based on fiction , half-truths and omissions

Litigation : a process or machine which if you enter as a cow you exit as minced meat

Misfortune : the only kind of fortune bridge players talk about

Off-centre bids : lies which fall well short of psychs , often associated with poor bidders' appalling inability to describe their hands any degree of precision or honesty

Zero tolerance : a god sent whipping stick providing those with axes to grind a plentiful supply of opportunities to rid the club of desirable members

Bridge : a beautiful game designed to be played in a spirit of goodwill and great sportsmanship , but one which finds itself taken up by predatory sharks , bully boys , mean-hearted monsters and black-hearted villians

Overbidding : a dangerous habit eagerly developed by both show-offs and hoggers, always insisting on winning competitive auctions with themselves as declarers
